We will get to it 17:35:46 #topic 1. Check for Agenda Additions 17:36:17 I take that is a no 17:36:18 I have a CAcert Board Meeting on Thursday, from 16:00 to 18:00 or so. Since I don't have SSH access from the meeting room, I would need to stay at home until that was finished. I could bring pizza after that, but.... 17:37:02 OK. I do not have th foggiest idea of where you are getting the pizza. 17:37:15 If you give me info an directions I can see what I can do 17:37:21 Any random Domino's. 17:37:36 Thing is I will already be bringing the other stuff 17:37:55 True. As I say, I could still get it. 17:37:57 Let's get to the right topic then 17:38:02 #topic 2. Current Topics 17:38:41 What do oyu want to do about pizza numbers? And I still need help on what to write for the email to tell poeple we need support 17:39:44 Agreed. As far as numbers, we have about twice as many confirmations than we have had for at least the past couple three months. 17:40:23 I thought that the questionnaire was a good start, and might be able to go as is. 17:40:43 mamarley: Did you get a chance to look at the questionnaire? 17:40:50 mamarley: did oyu see questionnaire? 17:41:13 Nope, I have been at work the entire time since you emailed it. I will look at it after work. 17:41:32 (Well, since I noticed the mail anyway.) 17:42:00 OK. I will ping qqx and dsmacow too directly 17:42:35 bdmc: I am so not happy with it yet 17:42:51 OK. Anything specific? 17:43:00 Feels incomplete 17:43:13 Can't put my finger on it 17:43:21 I had a slight issue with the System Administration question, but was willing to let it pass. 17:43:39 Edit it alreayd then 17:43:57 Don't wait on a blessing from the Space Pope 17:44:31 I was wondering whether it could talk about System Administration for home users, or something along those lines. ( Maintaining your own server, or something like that. ) 17:45:10 I don't know because it leads to what we/they want the club to be 17:45:58 We also need to send out reminders for the meeting in meetup and email. 17:46:01 Agreed. We might also look at Goldilocks for the first question. I know, "just right" doesn't give us anything to go from. 17:46:03 mamarley: do you have time? 17:46:27 I just took a quick look at it. Everything there looks good, but I agree with the feeling of incompleteness. 17:47:04 raub: Does anybody but you have Edit access? 17:47:27 Here's something I wanted to add but do not know how to word it: what do you want out of the club? As in hobby, professional development, networking 17:48:33 I agree with the need for such a question. Definitely an "other," too! 17:48:50 Yep. 17:49:12 Education as well as Professional Devel. 17:49:27 yep 17:49:32 Edit access? 17:49:53 AFAIK you have it; it is in the trilug goggle docs account 17:50:16 Ahhh. That explains it. I was looking in Google Docs. 17:51:53 I sent an Edit Request, but I don't know where it might go. 17:52:27 I got it. Weird but done 17:52:35 Thank you. 17:53:33 What do you think about three options for the first question? 17:53:36 Let me know if it works 17:53:40 It did. 17:53:46 Put it up so we can check 17:55:16 Hmmm. How do you an an item to the list of checkboxes? I tried clicking on the "Add option" at the bottom, but does nothing. 17:55:42 Of course it works AFTER I complain about it. 17:55:42 Click on the lowest checkbox entry 17:55:47 Aliens 17:56:15 Back to topic, Thomas will be recording this talk 17:57:18 And Pizza plan: I need two options depending on the reply from the mythical pizza email 17:57:33 Mythical pizza email? 17:57:52 mythical as in it has not been sent yet. So vapourware 17:58:50 OK. As far as that goes -- What do we need to say? 17:59:03 Oh, the one about our dire financial situation. 17:59:07 One option is if we expect not many people rising up to the occasion 17:59:17 Second if we feel like we have their backing 17:59:20 "For the past many months, TriLUG has been running at a deficite. ( sp?? ) 17:59:28 deficit 17:59:46 Merci 18:00:31 Each month, the amount that we have collected in "The Bucket" has only covered a small portion of our meeting expenses. 18:00:51 On wednesday I might be meeting potential sponsor from the headhunting company that has been in our meetings before 18:01:04 But I hold no expectations 18:01:20 Although we have had meeting sponsors, they have been few and far between. 18:02:05 We are asking for your help in solving this issue. 18:02:09 bdmc: email it 18:02:46 Does your employer have a program that might provide funding for organizations such as ours? 18:03:21 bdmc: I will have to ask 18:03:27 Don't think so 18:03:32 Are you willing to sponsor a meeting, or at least donate some larger funds than normal? 18:03:46 No, I'm not talking to you, I am talking to the letter. 18:03:59 Ah ok. 18:04:24 I am just writing off the top of my head, at the moment. 18:05:19 Both of you, feel free to contriute, or correct. 18:05:59 ( oops -- contriute = contribute ) 18:06:17 Ok 18:07:30 Anyway, anything else? 18:08:55 Not from me. 18:09:43 OK. mamarley if you do not have time to send updates, let me know and I will do it 18:09:58 OK 18:10:38 I will give an update after the meeting on Wednesday. That is one of the reasons I wanted the questionnaire out 18:11:14 Sounds good. 18:11:26 I have made a couple of edits. 18:11:34 K. I will look into it 18:11:40 Feel free to change those. 18:11:49 ANd will grab what you wrote and put an email together 18:12:05 OK. Send mail if you want anything. 18:12:47 Well then 18:12:51 #end meeting 18:12:56 #endmeeting
